If you’ve been counting down to GTA VI for the last 13 years since GTA V, the wait is finally over. Pre-orders opened on 25 June on the PlayStation Store, and Rockstar has confirmed local pricing. The Standard Edition goes for RM339 and the Ultimate Edition for RM419. There’s no Steam listing yet, so the PS5 is the only place you can pre-order it for now.
The RM339 Standard Edition is the base game. Pre-order it digitally and you also get the Vintage Vice City Pack, which includes outfits and hairstyles for both Jason and Lucia, a vehicle, a personal garage, and a weapon wrap that nods to Tommy Vercetti from the original Vice City.
Rockstar says these unlock as the story progresses, though the weapon pattern stays exclusive to pre-orders. You also get one free month of GTA Plus, the paid subscription for GTA Online, some freebies, and a rotating library of older Rockstar titles.
The RM419 Ultimate Edition bundles both of those, then adds extra outfits and special vehicle variants that Rockstar has flagged as exclusive, so you won’t be able to earn them by playing. The RM80 difference is for items you can’t get any other way once the game is out.
The Physical Edition Ships Without A Disc
If you’re planning to buy a physical copy, there’s no disc in the box. Rockstar has confirmed the Malaysian physical edition ships with a download code instead. You’re paying for the box and the right to download, not a disc you can lend, resell, or keep offline, which changes the value if you collect games or like trading them in.
The Total Cost Of Pre-Ordering
At RM339, Grand Theft Auto VI is on the higher end for a new game, above the RM249 to RM299 most new PS5 releases go for. For comparison, the upcoming Fable launches at RM299.
Our top tip: The free one month of GTA Plus costs nothing when you first sign up, but the subscription renews once the trial ends, so set a reminder to cancel before then if you don’t plan to keep it. And if you pay by reloading your Touch ‘n Go eWallet with a credit card, reload fees add a few ringgit on top. So the final amount you pay depends on which edition you pick and how you pay for it.
